wal-mart, costco, sams club. they all sell 25lb bags and it's much cheaper than buying 5lb bags in the grocery store. we also have a restaurant supply outlet that has sugar sometimes, but usually the bags are ripped and taped and it's kind of a pain. tends to attract ants, etc.

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

When you get the sugar double check the price per pound. Last year it was cheaper for us to buy sugar at Sam's by the ten pound rather than twenty-five or fifty pound bags. Later the price swapped around and we started buying the larger bags.

We've found this to be true in a lot of products and stores. We always carry a calculator now if the grey matter is fritzing out.

Everyone said it couldn't be done. But he with a chuckle replied, "I won't be one to say it is so, until I give it a try." So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin. If he had a worry he hid it and he started to sing as he tackled that thing that couldn't be done, and he did it. (unknown)

I'm sure the price of a 5 lb bag is less than a 25 lb bag but what was the price per pound. If a 5 lb bag costs $ .99 and a 25 lb bag costs $4.99 the the 5 lb bag is cheaper per pound than the 25 lb bag. :)

Life is a school. What have you learned? :brian: The greatest danger to our society is apathy, vote in every election!

True... With gas prices and the fact we have to drive a ways for some of our shopping we try and keep it down to one trip a week. We start at the far end and shop our way back, no doubling back allowed. My wife has a steel trap mind when it comes to cost and manufacturer of items.

I'm a very lucky guy. :D
